…is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Not the most original quote.
Probably apocryphal.
But still…
When an umpteenth COP begins, you might wonder what has been learned from the previous ones, and how much the impact of these meetings has grown over time.
Unfortunately, it seems that the growth of our GHG emissions is an unfortunate constant in life, completely unaffected by COPs, from the first to the last.
And now, billionaires with a passion for packaging and shipping, and an aversion for paying taxes coming to share their view on the state of the planet don’t sound like the best heralds of change.
But after all, COPs are just meetings of signatory countries, their representatives far removed from the substance of these countries.
For each country to change, their people must.
And luckily, we vote every day.
With each purchase we do, we tacitly validate organisations and their priorities.
By the same token, we have the means of making some businesses unsustainable.
And if we don’t quickly make parts of our current world unsustainable, a much greater part of it serious will.
